One defender, Tom Brady, has the whole story, but he’s still there; the other, Patrick Mahomes, is present and has the whole future ahead of him
It will be the fifth confrontation between these two for the first time in Super Bowl. Think about that a month and a half before Patrick mahomes he was born, Tom Brady he had just turned 18; The day Brady was recruited by New England Patriots in April 2000, Mahomes He was 4 and a half years old. The generational gap is staggering. Brady is already a legend, Mahomes he has everything to take the job. We’ll see if the transition happens on February 7, because Brady shows no signs of slowing down. The outlook could not be better than Super Bowl LV.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers they recorded a before and after with Brady the orders. They went from being an irregular and anarchic team, to one with leadership, balance and enough time to find the best version in the playoffs. There is little to gain in consecutive weeks of visiting against The Washington football team, New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers. I emphasize balance Gulf of Tampa, we could not understand the champion NFC without defense work. They generated four exchanges of balls against saints and two against packers. Those headaches are of little use if you don’t use them properly and they did on Sunday Lambeau Field. The merit of Brady was in the transformation of those errors of packers in touchdowns, just as he did in Superdome.
Martin Grammar, winner of the Super Bowl XXXVII with pcs, told me a few days ago about Brady: “(What surprises me the most) is his humility, the way he integrates the team and makes everyone feel important. He doesn’t feel bigger than the others, even though he’s a superstar. ” Once again he applied it again and transformed the culture of a traditionally losing team.
Mahomes he is at the zenith of his career. It is a weapon of destruction as if it were not another in NFL. He is dynamic, mobile, with a strong and precise arm, he also has a coach Andy Reid which continues to give you items to be a winner. Mahomes maximizes them so that Buffalo Bills They had no arguments to stop the best tight end in the league, Travis Kelce (had nine receptions for 93 meters in the first half), already Tyreek Hill (who finished with nine catches and 172 yards). There have been six consecutive offensive series Kansas City Chiefs which ended in points in the final AFC.
For his 25 years, he shows an unusual maturity. He didn’t go crazy for the most expensive contract in history NFL who signed in mid-2020. He maintains that hunger for success. A privileged athlete who keeps his feet on the ground as a result of the good education he received from his father (major league player) and coach Reid nowadays.
Opportunities of this kind occur very rarely in sports. It’s like we’re watching Michael Jordan against Lebron James, the legend against the young miracle. Brady it has all its history, but it is still present; Mahomes it is present and has the whole future ahead. The fascinating story that will be written on February 7 in Tampa.
